Helvetica


This Friday night, Movie Night In The Back Yard presents Helvetica (2007). Gary Hustwit's documentary about the most powerful typeface on Earth is a must see for anyone who's into design, graphic design or global marketing. It's also one of the best documentaries from the past few years. Think about it, if this guy can make an entertaining movie about a font, you have to be impressed. Watch out for his new film Objectified.
